Buzz: Nats want Weeks for Chad Cordero

The Nationals continue to request 2B Rickie Weeks from the Brewers in talks involving RHP Chad Cordero, ‘but the Brewers keep saying no,’ writes Ken Rosenthal at FOXSports.com.

…which may explain why cordero could not be part of the Lastings Milledge to deal

…if you recall, during last year’s trade deadline, the word from d.c. had been that the Mets offered Philip Humber to the Nationals in exchange for cordero, who literally had his bags packed, but the Mets would not part with either OF Carlos Gomez, OF Fernando Martinez or RHP Mike Pelfrey to get a deal done

When asked during last August whether the Mets should have traded Humber plus Gomez, Milledge or Martinez to get Cordero, 90 percent of respondents said, ‘No.’
